1. 1. Risk & Policy: The relevance and influence of Aaron Wildavsky’s book Searching for Safety in the safety discourse.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Hans Nagtegaal; [2024]
   Keywords : Wildavsky; Resilience; Anticipation; Cultural Theory; Global Safety; Political Science; Safety Discourse; Social Power; Economy of Safety; Net Benefit; FLMU06; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The main finding of this thesis is that the relevance and influence of Aaron Wildavsky’s book Searching for Safety in today’s safety discourse is limited although Wildavsky may be considered to be the linking pin between RE, HRO and NAT. The safety discourse may benefit from Wildavsky’s work in political science: I.e. READ MORE

3. 2. FPGA Based Control of Multiple Electric Machines for Marine Propulsion Systems

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Simon Weideskog; [2024]
   Keywords : FPGA; Field Oriented Control; BLDC; SVPWM; SMO; Electric Drives; Electric Machines; Sliding Mode Observer; Marine Propulsion; Multiple Machines; Boat Motor; Fältorienterad styrning; marin framdrivning; elektriska drivsystem; elmaskiner; flertal maskiner; båtmotor;

   Abstract : This master thesis addresses the control of electric propulsion motors in a marine context. The focus lies mainly on the implementation of field oriented control (FOC) in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The hypothesis is that FPGAs provide performance advantages over microcontroller-based control solutions by enabling parallel processing. READ MORE

4. 3. Ensuring safe docking maneuvers on floating platform using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC)

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Federico Gatti; [2024]
   Keywords : Robotics; Space Engineering; Docking Maneuvers; Floating Platforms; Nonlinear MPC; MPC; Barrier function; PWM;

   Abstract : Docking maneuvers are a relevant part of the modern space mission, requiring precision and safety to ensure the success of the overall mission. This thesis proposes using a non-linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) as a controller with various constraints to ensure safe docking maneuvers for a satellite. READ MORE

5. 4. Formulation and characterisation of novel edible-packaging for fruits and vegetables

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Lola Sutton; Katerina Papa; [2023]
   Keywords : algae; edible packaging; carrageenan; cucumber; REL; oxidative stress; antioxidants; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. READ MORE

6. 5. From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Christopher Keegan; [2023]
   Keywords : Bioinformatics; Genebanks; Genetic Engineering; Mixed-Methods; Multi-Disciplinary; Patent Analysis; Plant Genetic Resources; Synthetic Biology; Technological Trajectories; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete.
